PARTY AND MAY 3rd
WE WILL NOT BE IN THE MAY 3RD TOURNAMENT. I realize this comes as a huge relief to many who were dealing with prom, and it is disappointing for those who would like a chance to play. It was not on our original schedule and there were too many conflicts with that date. Enjoy your day , ladies.
The tee shirt party was a total success... I can't thank Sarah Fosdick and her family enough for their extreme generosity in organizing the party and opening up their lovely home for us to create the shirts. it was a lot of fun for everyone, it was great seeing all of you in all of your creative glory!
For those of you who heard about my art project for W4 Country, thanks for your support, I WON!! I won Kenny Chesney tickets and I will be giving them as a gift for a friend who is a big Kenny fan. You can see the artwork on W4Country.com , it will be posted later today. Thank you to Robyn Chaffee for allowing me to use one of her senior pictures in my project.
here are some party pics!

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
I have also canceled our port huron match. The varsity is still going, but we wouldn't make it back until late ( like the utica match) because we'd have to play after them.
May 3rd's tournament is still up in the air. Ladies going to prom , book your appointments. Enjoy your day. I have decided, if we do play in it, it will not be mandatory to be at the match if you are not playing. It would be nice if you showed up for part of it and showed your support, but it will not be mandatory.

COMPETITIVE TEAM
Not to be like pioneer or huron , but our team is a huge program like theirs , so I have to do this. ..
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE with where you are placed I'd ask you come directly to me, via email or in person and do not discuss it with everyone else on the team. It brings morale down when there is negative rumors /misgivings running rampant. Our team is a positive one, we love and support one another, and the decision of the coach, even if you don't agree. It is ok to disagree with my decisions, it is not ok to talk about your teammates faults or my decisions behind my/their back(s).
COMPETITIVE A TEAM – this line up is NOT set
- anjali sarapalli
2. stephanie webb
3.sonja karnovsky
4. lauren eisemann
doubles
1. robyn chaffee and haley breedveld
2. bryn walters and kaitlyn sheets
3. megan anthony and chelsea norman
4. sarah fosdick and sabine bickford
- COMPETITIVE B TEAM ( NOT IN ANY ORDER )
The competitive B Team , is a practicing team but may get to see more play when teams are bigger or I feel it is best to change out a player on the A team for any reason, attitude, work ethic, injury, morale.
aubrey theisen
Lauren fillinger
Melissa winters
Natasha benfer
caili dailan
Nicole sugai
Brittany Louth
Sarah Hampton

If your name is not listed, you are the practicing team. I do reserve the right to move people up or down, as I know there are some of you that I see improving so fast the teams can’t keep up with your rising skill. Please don’t think I don’t see your hard work.. I do. I am proud of all of you.

MONDAY 'S MATCH
I will look up directions and post the line up on sunday .
hope you guys had a great weekend.
UPCOMING EVENTS
MAY 3
There is an Ann Arbor Invitiational that has seven other great teams. They will be using our courts, therefore it will be mandatory for all of you to be there. If you decide not to play because of prom that is fine, there are plenty of girls not going to prom who will love the chance to play. Even if you aren't playing, you will be required to be there until at least 2:30 pm. The head tournament director estimated play will be done at 3:30 but there is no guarantee. If you are going to prom and can not commit to be there ( mentally and physically ) I want to know so I can put someone else in your place.

friday
I have delayed posting the line up , because if it doesn't rain, I want to see how people play in order to best choose for tournament. If you were scheduled to play in the brighton match, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed a spot on saturday, but it does mean it is mandatory that you are there on sat. ( sonja, i know you can't ... good luck on the ACT . ) so you can plan to be there.
you will need to be at the high school to leave from the high school at 6:45am on Sat. Yes, I know it is early... but this will allow ample time to get to the high school and make sure you are all there and accounted for... not 6:47 or 6:55... 6:45. There are 28 girls who would love to have your spot on the team, so you must be on time or you are disrespecting your team mates and Mr. Webb who has sacrificed his saturday to coach.
I know it is a pain. I still have not heard from Troy high school.. please check this blog tomorrow night or call me , because you might have to leave even earlier.
Practice tomorrow is mandatory at 4:30. if it is raining , go inside and we will walk/run the track or do the stairs. If it is raining , practice will be from 4:30-5:30.
OTHER STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW...
1. if you have to pay the play to participate , do it immediately, please. If you have questions, or concerns , ask the althetic office.
2. uniforms... i don't know when they are coming , hopefully the end of next week, but i am not sure.
shirts -35 , skirts -45 make checks payable to "Saline Sports Shack" DUE MONDAY.
3. hoodies and sweats - Hoodies $20 , Sweats $14. I will find out who to write the checks to, I believe it will be "underground shirts, " but don't write that check until I find out for sure. DUE MONDAY.
( If cost is an issue , please come to me and I'll see what I can do . )
4. I am proud of you and I want you to know that.
YOU GUYS RULE!

HAPPY SPRING BREAK!
I have very limited access to internet/phone until i get home . ( I snuck out to Panera to do this blog )
Monday- 4:30-6:30, Mr Webb and our captains will be running practice. I want all the girls who are playing in tuesday's match to play matches. I don't really care who you play against or with for this practice, I just you to all play some matches. on the remaining courts, I want you to practice serving!!! When the matches start to finish up ( 8 game pro-sets ) then play champs and challengers. you can end practice but playing a game of the captain's choosing.
Tuesday.. we are home against country day ( 4:30 ) is when the match officially starts. However. I want all of you dressed and ready to go by 3:15. If you don't have a uniform , please wear something that says Saline on it, and try to dress in school colors. Everyone , even if you are not going to play, is required to be here for the entire match. Bring homework and your good cheering voices for your teammates.
SPEAKING OF TUESDAY.
Here are the 12 ladies that will be playing ( DO NOT FREAK OUT IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST . I have MANY girls who are capable of playing , this doesn't mean you are not on the competitive team for sure. )
i will post the line up , if i can when i get back on monday night, but if it isn't up by 9:30 pm that means it isn't going to be up and you will find out at 3:15 pm on Tuesday. you'll have an hour before the match to hit around with your new partners.
These are in no particular order...
1. Megan Anthony
2. Stephanie Webb
3. Robyn Chaffee
4. Bryn Walters

6. Chelsea Molloy

One alternate ( Brittany Louth - be ready just in case )
Now, that being said, Country Day has not contacted me and there is a good chance they have more than 12 players... so I want everyone to bring their rackets and WATER!
ALL OF YOU RULE. ALL OF YOU MAKE ME PROUD!
